St. Anthony’s Xander Beals made one of the best throws any player will make last night against T-Town!
Xander caught it near the Track & gunned this laser to 3rd & nailed the Shoes Runner!
Wow, that was on the money 😳
Thanks to a Friend of mine for capturing this!

Was a fan of OF Henry Brent (2026) in my looks at @StAnthony_BSB this spring.

Two barrels today - both to RCF, one of them here.👇

Has hit each time I’ve seen him. 👍

OF Aiden Lauritzen (@StAnthony_BSB, 2026) puts the Bulldogs on the board in the first with this swing.

Strong LHH, showed off advanced arm strength from CF in pre-game I/O and was one of their top arms on last year’s state champion team.

OF Henry Brent (@StAnthony_BSB, 2026) adds another run to the Bulldogs lead with this RBI single to RF.
